Some Opposition MPs have expressed regret over boycotting plenary sitting, saying their absence saw Parliament pass the Petroleum Supply Amendment Bill, which gave monopoly to Uganda National Oil Company to import fuel products in Uganda, which could increase the cost of fuel in Uganda. Leading the regrets was Charles Tebandeke (Bbale County) who compared the  Petroleum Supply Bill 2023 to cancer, syphilis and gonorrhea, warning that the new legislation is not only going to affect incomes of Ugandans, but also rob them of their economic rights under the new monopoly. 📸: Hon Charles Tebandeke, Bbale County MP. "As the Opposition, I am one of those regretting why I didn’t attend plenary because even if it meant sitting on top of the table and even break all the microphones inside the chambers. If our brains had failed us that day, at least we could have used the energy drawn from the food we eat to see to it that this bill doesn’t pass," said Tebandeke....

By BarefootLawyers.   After 4 years of living and working in Uganda, Uhuru committed a crime and he was arrested. After that, he was put on a plane and returned to his own country. The problem is while here, he had got some land, a car, and even the house where he was renting had a lot of his nice things that he did not want to lose. Uhuru is now wondering what will happen to all the things that he bought and owned. Should he give up on them as a loss or can they be sent to him in his own country?   WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?.   The law says that any person is allowed to own property in Uganda. This is a human right. This means that whether a person is a Ugandan or non-Ugandan citizen, they have the right to own property in Uganda. For example, when we talk about buying land, a Ugandan can permanently buy and own the land, but a non-Ugandan can only temporarily own the land (This is called a leasehold of either 49 or 99 years)    As a non-citizen, when y...

An asylum seeker and a refugee are very similar.  In simple terms, the difference between these two comes down to official recognition of rights. A refugee is officially recognised, while an asylum seeker has not yet been recognised and given refugee rights in a country.   A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee their home country due to fear of persecution based on factors such as race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. They have already been officially recognised as meeting the criteria of being a refugee and have been granted asylum in another country.   On the other hand, an asylum seeker is a person who is seeking protection as a refugee but hasn't yet been granted official refugee status. They are in the process of requesting sanctuary in another country and are waiting for their asylum claim to be assessed and approved.   Once this application is approved, an asylum seeker becomes a refug...

The notorious Russian hackers known as Sandworm targeted an electrical substation in Ukraine last year, causing a brief power outage in October 2022. The findings come from Google's Mandiant, which described the hack as a "multi-event cyber attack" leveraging a novel technique for impacting industrial control systems (ICS). "The actor first used OT-level living-off-the-land ( LotL ) techniques to likely trip the victim's substation circuit breakers, causing an unplanned power outage that coincided with mass missile strikes on critical infrastructure across Ukraine," the company said . "Sandworm later conducted a second disruptive event by deploying a new variant of CaddyWiper in the victim's IT environment." The threat intelligence firm did not reveal the location of the targeted energy facility, the duration of the blackout, and the number of people who were impacted by the incident. The development marks Sandworm's continu...

📸: Unsplash.    It was all peer pressure. Salima and her friends decided to go for HIV tests because they were graduating and that was how it all began. The lab person gave Salima the bad news mbu she was not only HIV positive, but she also had a lung cancer and ‘that cough’ was TB. For the next two months, Salima went into depression, lost weight, became ‘faded’ and even failed to show up for the job she had been given. Her mother even had to come from the village to console her and she is the one who encouraged her to try another hospital. It turns out that all the results were negative. Salima is relieved, but now she wants to know who is going to pay for all the suffering she has gone through and the job she lost.   WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? Generally, courts do not allow people to sue for emotional damage because it is difficult to measure and calculate this. (Courts like things that can be measured and compensated for). However, when a hospital has done so...

📸: Unsplash. Mr Kati is a citizen of the Republic of Kali (not a real country). He is a public servant and works for the Ministry of Water in the Republic of Kali. When the government of Kali decided that it wanted to bring water to its people in the Eastern part of Kali, Mr Kati was put in charge. He was, therefore, put in charge of billions. However, Mr Kali lives on a very remote village with a very bad road, and he thought that surely if he used some of the money to build a road in his village, it would be okay as it would even help the people of his village. Would Mr Kati’s actions be regarded as corrupt since he used the money for a another purpose?   WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? According to the Anti-Corruption Act of Uganda, corruption is where a person who is in public service uses their position to ask for or accept a gift, a favour, a promise or money in exchange of doing what they are legally required to do as a person who works in that public service.   Cor...

📸: Unsplash.  Salima came to Uganda because people like her were being hunted for human sacrifice as some people believed their blood could keep them young forever. After a month here, she decided to apply to be a refugee. Yesterday, Salima got the news that her application has been rejected, and she is worried she will be forced to return to her country where the witchdoctors are waiting for her. Is this the end for her?   WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? By law, a refugee is a person who leaves their own country because of fear of being badly treated because of their race, religion, nationality, belonging to a particular social group, or their political beliefs, and they cannot safely return to their own country. When a person applies to become a refugee in Uganda and is assessed to see if they qualify for refugee status, this application may be granted or rejected. When it is rejected, it does not mean the end for that person or that the person will be forced to leave Ug...

  Olwenyi has been everything. A farmer, diamond seller, travel advisor, importer and ‘Manager UCC’. In short, he is a mufere. Last year, he conned some people of their mobile money in Uganda then fled to South Sudan to hide. While there, he ‘kufeerad’ (conned) someone ‘big’ in government of about 1 billion shillings and a very expensive necklace and he was arrested while crossing the border to Uganda. Someone whispered to him that the ‘big shot’ in government ‘will die on him’ so now Olwenyi wants to know if he can be taken back to Uganda because he does not want to be in prison in another country where he might not survive.   WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?   According to the law, crimes are tried where they are committed. This is called territorial jurisdiction (This is the power of courts in a certain area to hear and deal with cases within that area). That means that if someone commits a crime in Uganda, the courts in Uganda have the right to try the matter. If a ...

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a new dropper-as-a-service (DaaS) for Android called SecuriDropper that bypasses new security restrictions imposed by Google and delivers the malware. Dropper malware on Android is designed to function as a conduit to install a payload on a compromised device, making it a lucrative business model for threat actors, who can advertise the capabilities to other criminal groups. What's more, doing so also allows adversaries to separate the development and execution of an attack from the installation of the malware. "Droppers and the actors behind them are in a constant state of evolution as they strive to outwit evolving security measures," Dutch cybersecurity firm ThreatFabric said in a report shared with The Hacker News. One such security measure introduced by Google with Android 13 is what's called the Restricted Settings, which prevents sideloaded applications from obtaining Accessibility and Notification...

Nalule’s husband died one year ago. Her late husband’s brothers came in immediately after the burial and took over all the property in the house. They even chased Nalule out of the house. Nalule was stuck in Kotido begging and looking for transport and food to return to Buikwe when she met Nafuka who advised to go to court and seek for justice. Nalule’s problem is that she could not even afford food or transport to Buikwe, so then how would she afford to take her husband’s relatives to court? WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?. Justice must be available to everyone regardless of the wealth they have. This means that everyone is equal before the law, and they should not be denied justice just because they are ‘poor’. In Uganda, the law allows people who cannot afford to hire a lawyer or pay the court fees associated with their case to bring their case before court. If you are unable to afford to hire a lawyer or even pay for court fees, in the law you are referred to as a "pauper...

📸: The Independent. Every year around this time, the people in Mangeno’s village start to worry. While everyone else in the country is thinking about Christmas clothes, they are worried about mudslides and floods.  So they use this time to harvest their food and prepare themselves to survive. Unfortunately, this year, the Christmas rains came earlier than expected and so far, 35 homes have been either swept away or buried in the mud. There is no harvested food to last through the heavy rains, and everyone is worried about starving. Does the government have a responsibility to feed them in this trying time? WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? According to the law, the government has a responsibility to set up effective measures to deal with any of the following issues: Hazard or disaster arising out of natural calamities. For example, landslides and floods. Any situation resulting in general displacement of people. For example, many people were displaced by floods in Kasese district...

Google is rolling out an "Independent security review" badge in the Play Store's Data safety section for Android apps that have undergone a Mobile Application Security Assessment ( MASA ) audit. "We've launched this banner beginning with VPN apps due to the sensitive and significant amount of user data these apps handle," Nataliya Stanetsky of the Android Security and Privacy Team said. MASA allows developers to have their apps independently validated against a global security standard such as the Mobile Application Security Verification Standard ( MASVS ), thereby providing more transparency and enabling users to make informed choices prior to downloading them. The efforts are part of Google's broader push to make the Data safety section a one-stop shop that presents a "unified view of app safety," offering details about the kind of data that's being collected, for what purpose, and if it's being shared with third-part...

📸: Minister Hillaru Onek. Uganda. The Office of the Prime Minister spends 4.019 Trillion shillings on purchasing firewood for refugees according to a revelation by Hillary Onek, the minister for relief and disaster preparedness. The development came up during a parliamentary sitting this week on Thursday noting that the firewood is used by refugees to cook food. It should be noted that in May this year, President Museveni issued Executive Order No 3 which, among others banned the production of and trade in charcoal in Northern Uganda, as part of the efforts to protect the environment. The expenditure on firewood is against a sum of 4.944 Trillion shillings spent annually on refugee response by Uganda. Mr Onek while making such notices before parliament added: “97% refugees (1.3refugees) use firewood each consuming 1.6Kgs per year valued at Shs5000 per day as indicated by research reports of Food & Agricultural Organisation (FAO), World Bank, World Food Programme (WFP)” In fact, wh...

Following first son Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba's visit to Arua City, WestNile region for the launch of MK Project 22-10-2022, lots of opinions ran on my mind after keen observation of events that unfolded within that month. MAMMOTH CROWD. Prior to Gen Muhoozi's announcement of a journey to WestNile region to launch the chapter, there were intensive mobilizations both by people in Youth age bracket and adults.
